How we handle glazing silicone in Ovingdean
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ovingdean is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We check which it is.
What affects the quote in Ovingdean
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

Ovingdean: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Ovingdean affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Ovingdean within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Ovingdean needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When to call us in Ovingdean
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
In the older streets around St Wulfran's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?
Why it’s worth doing now in Ovingdean
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ovingdean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Ovingdean homes and the weather
Ovingdean is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Royal Pavilion (about 2.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Ovingdean has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Ovingdean Hall School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Moulsecoomb station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
